<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that, conventionally, during a copy operation, certain advanced mode settings make the extraction of additional security information impossible and desired security measures are prevented from being implemented. <P>SOLUTION: A print control apparatus, for receiving data of an image representing additional information in accordance with the direction of deviation of dots from a lattice point, includes: a determining means for determining an interval between a lattice point and a lattice point adjacent to the lattice point from the received image data; and a control means for performing a control so as to scale the image at a magnification specified by a user and have the scaled image printed by a printing apparatus when the product of the magnification specified by the user and the interval determined by the determining unit falls within a predetermined range, and so as to terminate or interrupt the printing of the image by the printing apparatus when the product of the magnification specified by the user and the interval determined by the determining unit does not fall within the predetermined range. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
